I recently had my 10 year high school reunion. I didn't want to go because I don't give a fuck about the majority of those people and the people I care about from high school I see all the time. I ended up getting dragged to it but I'm glad I went.

I saw this as an opportunity to showcase my new found confidence and wit, a far cry from the shy introvert pimple faced high school version of death_proofer so my mindset was just that from the get go. I get there and the first thing I see is Tina, the girl who dumped me in grade 12, the one I pined over for too long and the reason why I got into this. She acted cold towards me, ignoring my presence and not starting conversations. I got the vibe as if she thought I wasn't over her even 10 years later. I didn't bother to try with her so I just kept up my positive state, smiled and mingled with everyone else. I eventually run into Sarah and Amy. Sarah was the girl who looked like Katie Holmes in high school and was still pretty cute while Amy was a former crush. AA is nowhere to be found so I start conversing with Sarah about the past 10 years and trying to make her laugh and flirt with Amy when I'm not with Sarah. Amy is clinging to everything I say thanks to some light KINO and EV to the point where she's laughing at my dumb jokes and the ones that aren't even funny.

So the reunion is coming to a close so we decide to get a maxi taxi to a pub. I end up sitting across from Sarah and fucking Tina is next to me. I try to talk with Sarah so I don't have to talk to Tina but she starts talking with whoever was next to her so I start a conversation with Tina. She seemed genuinely interested and surprised at now much I changed thanks to my open body language and clear deep voice. I tried to end the conversation but she kept asking more questions.

We get to the bar and Amy is continually trying to get my attention. One of her friend ended up cock blocking me because she thought I was a "player" and told Amy to steer clear but she still displayed some IOI's so I focus all my energy on Sarah. I'm being playful and non threatening with Sarah by lightly teasing her. She ended up stealing my phone and adding herself to my facebook. I managed to isolate her from the group conversations and we head to the smoking area to have a good chat. I'm flirting, push/pull, KINO then really escalating. I get her talking about passions, family and her dreams. I go in for the kiss but stop about an inch from her mouth forcing her to kiss me. She was all over me. 16 year old me would not believe I hooked up with her because she was soo out of reach for shy high school death_proofer.

A small victory was Tina walking in on us making out then awkwardly backing away. I said we should rejoin the group after some heavy kissing to which she reluctantly agreed. We kept having a good time. I talk with other people but go back to her every so often. We ended up getting kicked out of the bar for being too much of a nuisance but I tried to keep it playful and convinced her to sneak back in with me. We got in through another entrance only to be promptly kicked out again.

The night is coming to an end and Tina is saying goodbye to everyone. I said ciao quickly but she then comes up to me and gives me a huge hug. She apologizes for being a bitch and tells me I'm a good guy. That felt strange but I graciously accepted.

I call an uber and get Sarah back to my place. We drink some wine then head into my bedroom. F close, she spends the night and I drop her off in the morning. It was a good night.

I guess this was a reflection for me personally because it reminded me how far away I was from the shy, clingy and all round AFC I was all those years ago.

EDIT: Didn't expect to get this much attention. Thanks for all your comments (including the angry little hobbit). Up votes for everyone!
